Lin meets The Protagonist undercover yet again, this time in a bar. She is not happy with how her work is going, and has devised a plan to get in deep with the Westside Rollerz: she wants The Protagonist to find a mechanic called Donnie, who is a personal friend of Joseph Price, who runs the gang. Lin, while still undercover as a Westside Rollerz gang member, drives up and save Donnie from The Protagonist, making it look like Lin saved his life from the 3rd Street Saints, and hopefully a grateful Donnie leads Lin to Joseph Price.[1]

After completing their end of the deal, Lin shows up and completes her's: just before it looks like The Protagonist is about to kill Donnie, she pulls up in her Voxel and saves him.[2] After a short vehicular chase across the freeway between Lin and Donnie and The Protagonist, The Protagonist intentionally falls behind, and a thankful Donnie, believing Lin genuinely saved his life, takes her to meet the Westside Rollerz gang leader Joseph Price.

The following text has been transcribed verbatim from the game files.Upon completion of the mission, it is available in-game on the 'Story' page, accessed from the 'INFO' tab of the pause menu.

Lin's plans for the Rollerz were going well, but she wanted things to go a little faster. She asked you to raid the Rollerz' chop shop, leaving Donny, the Rollerz' top mechanic, unharmed. Just when Donny thought you were about to finish him off, Lin came in and pretended to rescue him. She gained some trust with the Rollerz, and you got to shoot their shop to pieces. Not a bad day.

In the back of the garage, Donnie is surrounded by two bodyguards; Donnie has a green arrow above his head, while the bodyguards have red arrows above. Do not shoot Donnie. A risk-free method of killing his bodyguards while taking the least amount of damage is to stand outside the doorway and wait for the bodyguards to come out.

Chase Lin to the suburbs.

Once the bodyguards are killed, gameplay changes to chasing after Lin to trick Donnie into thinking that The Protagonist is chasing her.

This is the second and last time Lin is seen smoking,[1] although not the last time it is referenced.[13]

This mission marks Donnie's first appearance in the Saints Row series, although he was first mentioned in the mission "Stacking the Deck".[14]

Lin intentionally tells The Protagonist not to "mess up [her] car" in the beginning of the mission,[1] but The Protagonist does it anyway via two shots to the left side door. As Lin drives off, The Protagonist subtly smiles to himself.[2]

Man: "Fuckin' asshole."Lin: "I tell ya, you and me are always making new friends. Things are moving too slow. We gotta step it up. I hear a guy named Joseph Price calls the shots. I don't know much about him 'cept that he's friends with some mechanic named Donnie. If we get in good with Price's crew, we'll always be one step a head of those fuckers. Here's the plan.
